Stalking jackassery! The cure for bullying
Hello, everyone.

There's a site called Goodreads which is a bit like a library, a book review service, and fountain of wank.

This particular sordid tale starts out like promising wank, until the instigators fall off the deep end of wanky into the depths of the pool of 'you are all horrible assholes'.

Summary: Getting a bad review on Goodreads is like being bullied, so the solution these poor beleagured bullying victims come up with is simple: Stalk and terrorize anyone who leaves them a bad review under the guise of 'stopping bullying'.

Here's the links:

Summary of the situation as well as the history which is much more indepth and accurate than what I just said.

One of the 'Anti-Bullies' bullying victims. As a reminder, this is all triggered by giving a book a bad review.

QUOTE:

This week, shortly after writing a status update about feeling stalked, I received a call. A woman said, "We can find you, bitch" and then hung up.

Excellent response from one of the targets (see the first link) where she reveals her part pirate heritage and great parenting tips.

Anyway, so that's what's happening in professional publishing this week.

I'm sorry if this loses coherency in parts, I haven't eaten for twelve hours and there's a carpet of slippery comicbooks between me and the fridge. I have to clean, organize, and write down issues before I can eat.

This will be my last known post.
